Comment on If we're going to have an effective strategy against FB/Meta, we should clear up some misconceptions around defederation
Right, we’re agreeing. That could still be millions even if the 160 million isn’t true.
It could be millions only if hundreds of Mastodon/Lemmy users start following hundreds of different Threads users.
Which I don’t think it will be the case, since it seems like Threads federation is going to be opt-in by their users.
If 50 Mastodon users start following 100 Threads users, the impact will be negligible, since Threads will only push messages by those 100 users.
We have over a million users here, it’s likely that 100s are going to follow 100s. That’s not that many.
